Love and Roses

This is not a poem.

A petal falls; the rose is red
Did it ever fall?
A second falls; the rose still red
Perhaps it was not needed. 
A third one falls, a fourth, a fifth
Doubt blossoms in their place.
A sixth one falls, and countless more
Why do I still count?
Two are left, then those fall too
Were they ever there?
